Synopsis

Excerpt from The Targum of Onkelos to Genesis

The purpose of this enquiry is to critically investigate the recension of the Targum of Onkelos preserved in the Yemen mss. And to establish a comparison between these Mss. And the Western or European texts, which are at present best represented by Berliner's recent edition. Berliner did not avail himself, however, of these Eastern mss. And his edition is therefore, to a certain extent, inadequate and can hardly be accepted as final. In order to establish a critical edition this enquiry goes into minute details of grammar, differences of vocalization and ortho graphy, additions and omissions, interchange of particles and variant readings. Parti contains the general outlines of this research and the results arrived at. Part II shows the more detailed comparison and lists of examples, following the text of the Bible, chapter and verse. The investigation concludes with a few specimen chapters of the Targum text, according to the version given by the Yemen Mss. It will probably reflect the original Palestinian form. Instead of making an index Ihave given a detailed Table of Contents. It is my fervent hope that this humble effort may be appreciated by students of the Bible and may give an incentive to the true appreciation of the work of Onkelos.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
